When I woke up, the entire cultivation world was talking about my master.

Seeing this scene, Chu Xianlan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her body crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, melting in her mouth.

What should I do? He seems to have seen something he shouldn't have!

Is this still the world of cultivation?

Or perhaps the master-disciple relationship outside the family has developed to such an earth-shattering degree.

Even if it's a trial of inner demons, they wouldn't dare to arrange so many explosive plots for him in one day!

I should be under the car, not inside... No, that's not right, I should immediately find a sturdy rope in the glove compartment and hang myself!!!

Xiao Huandu, after being kissed, showed no reaction whatsoever. He raised an eyebrow, casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, calmly pushed his soft, limp master away, and then continued to bend down and clean up the mess.

Wei Jin slumped over the table like a drunken cat, letting out a long yawn, his eyes glistening with tears, before belatedly noticing that there were outsiders in the hall.

"Oh dear~ Little Orchid is here~"

Chu Xianlan's shoulders trembled.

Unfortunately, due to his shock, he missed the best opportunity to escape, and now it's too late for him to slip away.

Despite her mind being a complete mess, Chu Xianlan swallowed hard and cautiously replied, "Junior Uncle." Because she had been holding it in so tightly, the three words came out in a hoarse, duck-like voice.

Xiao Huandu looked up in surprise, but his face showed no sign of guilt at being caught doing something big; instead, he smiled quite brightly and cheerfully.

"Hey, what brings you to Starfall Pavilion? Is there something you need?"

Chu Xianlan looked at her good brother, who seemed completely unaffected, filled with doubt, but could only pretend that he hadn't died.

Knowing the face but not the heart!

So you're one of us too! You're a traitor too!

"I... have come to find a sword manual for my master."

"The sword manuals should all be in the library," Xiao Huandu scratched his head, then turned to Wei Jin at the table and called out, "Master, do you remember anything about Immortal Lord Jixue's things?"

"call……"

Wei Jin was already asleep.

Xiao Huandu sighed and facepalmed. "I need to clean this up first, otherwise Master will scold me when he wakes up and sees this mess. Go look for it in the library first, and I'll come help you when I'm done."

"Okay, I'll go to the library... the library..." Chu Xianlan walked out calmly.

As I walked towards the library, my mind was still buzzing, replaying the shocking scene from earlier.

Could it be that the fault lies not with him, but with this mysterious world of cultivation?

The Star Ember Pavilion's library also continues the main hall's high-profile and flamboyant style, with an astonishing number of books and a wide variety of genres.

Wei Jin himself enjoys collecting all kinds of rare items, including ancient books, rare books, and strange tales.

Chu Xianlan slowly walked along the bookshelf, her gaze sweeping over the book titles, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Unofficial Histories and Secret Records of the Southern Cang Royal Family (First Edition)

……

Wait a minute, I'm actually quite interested in reading this unofficial history of the royal family.

Chu Xianlan suppressed her gossipy urges, stepped over the outer, gaudy bookshelves, and went straight inside. She finally saw some ancient books covered in a thick layer of dust, clearly neglected for a long time.

He had only glanced at it casually a few times, but his gaze suddenly froze.

"Speculation on Different Bloodlines, Volume 2"

Different bloodline...?

Chu Xianlan's heart stirred slightly, and she looked at the books next to her: "The Fragment of the Northern Underworld Demon Record", "The Primordial Chaos Record"... Although the titles were obscure, they were all related to bloodlines and aliens. In the cultivation world, this usually pointed to a taboo topic—half-demon.

Chu Xianlan was stunned.

Records and discussions about half-demons exist to varying degrees in the classic texts of major sects, but are mostly vague. Major immortal sects explain this during their daily initiation lessons for disciples, emphasizing the dangers of half-demons and the righteous responsibility to eradicate them.

Coming to my senses, I had already pulled out one of the books.

Following the paragraphs, the first few pages contained arguments that were no different from common sense. However, after turning a few pages, a truly shocking statement came into view:

"...However, the world says that half-demon bloodlines are impure and mixed, making them outcasts of Heaven and sources of calamity. What a joke!"

"I have thoroughly examined ancient fragments, researched strange tales from all directions, observed celestial phenomena, investigated the earth's veins, and repeatedly deduced, and have come to a contrarian conclusion: a half-demon possesses both human intelligence and demonic power, with yin and yang intermingling, much like the state of chaos at the beginning of creation. Its bloodline is not impure, but rather pure."

"Heaven's way is both impartial and selfish. The hardships and tribulations it bestows upon me are not to abandon me, but rather to temper me. My half-demon's ferocity is truly a blessing from Heaven."

"I believe that half-demons are not corrupt, and their path of cultivation has greater potential. Compared to pure-blooded humans or demons, they are most likely to reach the path of divinity."

Upon seeing this, Chu Xianlan's fingers, which were gripping the book pages, slowly tightened.

Half-demons are not a calamity, but rather beings with the greatest talent for cultivation and the most likely to ascend to godhood.

Is what this ancient text describes true?

Or is it just the crazy and absurd words left behind by some unorthodox senior?

His heart was pounding faster and faster. He carefully examined the last page and the corners of the book, trying to find the author of this ancient book and figure out which predecessor wrote these groundbreaking theories.

But no matter how many times I turned it over, there was nothing there.

There was no signature or seal, but the handwriting was neat and sharp, conveying a sense of aloofness.

For a fleeting moment, Chu Xianlan had the urge to take these ancient books related to half-demons with her.

...No, it's inappropriate to take things from Junior Uncle's library without permission.

After a moment's thought, Chu Xianlan took out a recording artifact from her storage pouch and made copies of these ancient books related to half-demon for preservation.

"Cough cough cough—this dust is too much!"

Just as he finished doing all that, Xiao Huandu's loud and boisterous voice rang out from outside.

"Brother, stop looking. I just found the sword manual you mentioned in Master's room. It's here."

Chu Xianlan composed herself, her expression returning to normal, and turned to walk out from deep within the bookshelf.

He took the sword manual from Xiao Huandu and casually asked, "With so many books in the library, does Junior Uncle usually read them?"

Xiao Huandu shrugged. "What are you looking at? Master just enjoys collecting them. He piles all sorts of strange and unusual things here. As for how many he's actually read, I bet it's no more than ten at most."

The two walked out side by side.

As they neared the door, Chu Xianlan could no longer hold back. She gathered her strength and asked, "Just now, why did your master...?"

"?" Xiao Huandu crossed his arms and looked back at him, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing that he still didn't take it seriously, Chu Xianlan gritted her teeth and finally brought it up: "Why did your master kiss you?!"
